Paws & Play: Your Pet's VIP Sitter

Pet care experience

What sets me apart as your go-to pet sitter is a genuine love for animals that runs deep in my roots. Growing up on our family farm in Colombia, I was surrounded by a lively mix of dogs, cats, horses, cows, and more. It's not just a background; it's a way of life. With a veterinarian dad, uncle, cousin, and sister, caring for animals became second nature from the moment I was born. Summers are more than just a break for me – they're an opportunity to work alongside my sister at her bustling animal hospital. The hands-on experience I've gained has equipped me with a diverse set of care skills, ensuring your furry friend receives top-notch attention and affection. Back home, I share my life with four incredible dogs – Timon, Apolo, Tomas, and Kenya. They're not just pets; they're cherished members of my family, bringing immeasurable joy and warmth to my days. What sets me apart is not just the knowledge but the genuine connection and love I have for these furry companions. Having veterinarians like my dad and sister just a call away is an added bonus – it means 24/7 support, ensuring your pet's health is in expert hands. Currently residing on a beautiful campus just 15 minutes from Mayer, I've found the perfect backdrop for dog walks and outdoor play. It's a haven for happy tails and joyful paws. So, what sets me apart? It's the blend of hands-on experience, a deep-rooted passion for animals, a close-knit connection with veterinarians, and a picturesque setting for your pet's enjoyment. I'm not just a sitter; I'm a companion dedicated to making your pet's time away from home as comfortable and joyous as possible.

Juan provided outstanding care for our 12-year old canine. Our dog is highly sensitive and cautious around new people. He took to Juan immediately! Juan is a calm and relaxed individual who was willing to meet with our dog several times before we left. On the second meeting Juan even brought a toy! Juan listened carefully to our instructions (our dog needed medication twice daily) and followed through perfectly. We returned home to find our dog happy and healthy.

Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! Our furry friend was well taken care of, and we received regular updates. The sitter is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares for pets. A 5/5 experience—we highly recommend him

Having watched my grandchild, Juan, grow up surrounded by our family's dogs and animals, I can confidently say that their love and care for these furry friends is truly exceptional. From the days on our farm in Colombia to the present, where Juan is pursuing their engineering studies, their connection with dogs like Timon, Apolo, Tomas, and Kenya has always been heartwarming. Juan not only brings a wealth of knowledge from our veterinarian family but also a genuine passion for the well-being of pets. I've witnessed their dedication during summers spent at their sister's animal hospital, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Now, living in a beautifully remodeled home with a lovely front patio, Juan is providing a safe and comfortable haven for dogs. What's truly special is the undivided attention they offer. With no other pets around and just my company, your furry friend is in for a treat. I wholeheartedly recommend Juancito for pet care – their love, experience, and the peaceful environment they provide make them the perfect companion for your four-legged family member.
